Helpful Way to Play

[carlin]

I've noticed while playing the more difficult songs if you look sort of off to the side and not directly at the screen and then go into a kind of trance mode (i guess would be the best way to describe it) it really makes a difference in how well you're able to hit each arrow. It's really amazing how well you can do.

Just giving an idea for players that workers for me.... tell me if you've already figured to out too! I want to know if there's anyone else.

I just tried it and if I look a bit left or right I can't see the arrows on the other side. Maybe what you do is unfocus your eyes and see a bit blurry?

Re: Helpful Way to Play

hey thats how i play haha like i zone out on the music and i let my fingures do the listening lol somtimes i miss then entire song but i do really well tho my skills arnt advanced enough to do songs like dance 2 only because i have to perfect my method of playing unlike most ffr players i play one hand index middle ring for some reason i cant do the 2 hand stance and have tried its not easier for me it a whole different way of thinking besides i can do some of the songs that most ppl need to hands for i did flight of the bumblebee one handed

Re: Helpful Way to Play

I kind of do the same thing. I look at the screen, the arrows get blurry (spacing out), and I hit them better.

Re: Helpful Way to Play

yea also if you vision gets blurry it doesnt matter cause of how the arrows are set up for top default the left arrow is always on the left the down is right beside it to the right and next is the up and finally the right so if you have that pattern down all you will need is the silouet of the arrows and you will never have a problem playing

I remember doing that to help me when I first started to play.

Re: Helpful Way to Play

sometimes when i play i zone out and my mind wanders and starts thinking of other stuff
i forget i'm playing
but if im doing a standard or lower i can usually keep up my fc somehow

Re: Helpful Way to Play

I stare at the area where it says "perfect" or whatever. This is why I suck at screencuts.

Re: Helpful Way to Play

Side of your eye has a slightly faster reaction time than staring directly at the target

Try this the next time you're at a stoplight.

wow i didnt expect so many people to already know about it! awesome. any other tricks people have come up with would be cool to hear about too. ^^

Re: Helpful Way to Play

That happens to me automatically

Seriously, I'll be playing and I'll start thinking about school or something and when I jump back into myself and realize I'm still playing, I ended up doing absolutely amazing.

Also, apparently my fingers can think faster than my brain. When I'm playing some songs, I won't have time to register what arrow to press, but my finger presses it anyway, without me even knowing that I should've pressed it.

<3 muscle reaction time.

Re: Helpful Way to Play

yeah when whoring a song ive done a heap of times, my mind wanders heaps and when you zone back in its at the part your having trouble, fail that part but realise you did awesome on the song upto that point. got a few AAA's that way lol.

For onsync stuff I space out, but when the song is offsync you really can't or else you'll good-stream.
